Sorry for my bad English, although my post was late at night..
(well no excuse) Anyhow at least you understood me!

Serious: my improvements are in design and completeness.
The written paragraphs are done by an author for sure.
BUT: if you compare to hifi electronics manuals from asia...
what an english! We do not want this.

And as I posted last time, you need to hire a PE to avoid liability.

Excuse me for mentioning this but from your post it appears English is
not
your first language, at least US English. :-) My question is how do
you plan to improve a manual sold in the US?

Well while discussing, I got in contact with a
kit manufactor.(not Vans) They are quite
interested in the idea to rebuild a manual
with builders help. Hey as long as I get
the kit cheaper ... g I get along with
this idea..

Wow and I thought the log has to show/proof
the steps descriped in the manual.

What steps? What manual? In the US there's no requirement
to show compliance with any manual. It's a good idea
to document where you followed the plans (if any g)
and where you deviated from them, but there's no
requirement or need to show that you followed a manual.
1000+ RV-4's flying and none had a step-by-step
construction manual provided by Van's. Seems like
it's buildable without one, if you ask me.

In general terms, the builder has to convince
the inspector that an amateur built the majority
of the airplane. Most people use a builder's
log as evidence.




But your (*) comment sounds like the
inspector was more interested if the work
was done by yourself or by a professional...

That's a valid interpretation, I suppose,
and I couldn't read his mind, but I'm certain
he was more interested in whether or not I
had the skills and knowlege to build a complex
system and operate it safely. Not whether or
not I could follow written instructions.


So 49 rule counts more than quality and safety?

You sound like you're looking for a particular
answer but not getting it here. Are you interested
in selling manuals or in evaluating them to decide
on an airplane to build?
